Last Week
Let's see Adrian Peterson is known to be about the only serious threat the Vikes have, and Tarvaris Jackson is, well, Tarvaris Jackson. Gregg Williams, defensive coordinator of the Redskins, had the brilliant idea to stop Adrian Peterson at all costs and force Tarvaris Jackson to find a way to win. I understand he also has a theory that gaining 7 yards on 3rd-and-ten doesn't do you any good, but he's only the defensive coordinator so that hasn't been tested yet.
Meanwhile, everyone in Cleveland has to have that ugly feeling the pit of their stomachs that maybe, just maybe, that was the real Derek Anderson.
You know, the Bills really seem to have trouble playing in bad weather. Hello, you're in Buffalo. Did you design your team with global warming in mind? The Bills pooch-screwing cost me on both the money line and point spread. On the spread I still came out okay.
4-2 versus the spread making the season record 33-20-2, or $7130 returned from a $6050 layout for a profit of $1080, assuring us of an up year in the point spread. Yea for me!
The money line, however, fell to pieces, as expected. For a layout of $500 we got back $230 for $270 loss bringing our annual profit to $761.99. With the Week of Shame upon us and the havoc it reeks on the formula...Ward, I'm worried about the money line.
Fins lose! Fins lose! Fins lose! And secure first pick in the draft. But that's not necessarily a good thing. It means you are either going to drop 30 million on some untested kid or you are going to have to convince another team to give you some combination of personnel & picks for the right to drop 30 million on some untested kid. How Parcells handles this mess will be the drama of the off-season. The Dolphins need help at just about every position, with the exception of running back which is probably the least important, so who knows? I'm just hoping we get regular post-game interviews with the Vice-president of Football Operations. I'm sick and tired of bland coaches. We didn't have one serious press conference meltdown all year. All we can do is watch those inane Coors Light commercials and reminisce.

Since it's Week 17, and you're ahead, shouldn't you be resting your picks and just put in the backup?

Vince Young has no guts.

Well, it could have been worse. Looks like I break even on the point spread and drop around half my cushion on the money line.
You're right Suss. I should have just taken the week off.

Yes RJ. Which QB was it that had to have his linemen carry him to the line of scrimage in a key game a few years back?(Was it McNabb?) Doubt we'll be seeing aything like that from Vince.
On the other hand, if Young can't run, he just guy in pads who throws like a girl.
Now I hate the Titans even more.
